Die Pilgrime auf Golgatha
Passions-Oratorium BR JCFB D 1
“An unknown work from the so-called Bückeburger Bach, which at first was ascribed unjustly to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The story of the Suffering of the Lord is examined from a different perspective. Pilgrims have undertaken a journey to the Holy Land and when they arrive they are informed by a hermit of the suffering and death of Christ. An additional figure, an angel, lends this representation of the Passion a heightened form for communicating the importance of the suffering of Christ.”

Composer
Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach
| 1732-1795The works of the concert master at Bückeburg, Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach (1732–1795), belong stylistically between the compositions of his elder brother Carl Philipp Emanuel and the contemporary Italian style. In addition to large-scale and ambitious oratorios he left two artistically fashioned motets, a series of festive cantatas, and above all, a great many instrumental works, some of which approach the tonal idiom of the classical masters.
